This website has its genesis in my interest in the North Olympic
Peninsula. After frequent camping trips to many sites in the region during the
late 1980's, my family and I decided to purchase a piece of property on
the Dungeness plain, as a sunny outpost to relax and explore the surrounding
areas. In 2002, I helped my son configure a
rudimentary science experiment to record the sunlight in Sequim and Redmond using small
solar panels; we were shocked at the difference. So, in the early Fall of 2010, I
went ahead and set up some
more modern equipment to take a closer look at things, and have shared the findings.

If you would like to keep up to date regarding
when new reports are available, changes to the site, blog posts, etc, "liking" us
via our
Facebook page will keep you in touch, or if Facebook is "not your
thing", drop us an email.
